NECKTI E-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312,681, dated February 24, 1885.

Application led April 27, 1883. (No model.) 4

To all whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that I, JOSEPH WEIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in theeounty of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie Fastenings, of which lthe following is a'speciication, reference being had therein to the "accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improvedvdevice' for holding a necktie bow or scarf in place on the collar.

The invention consists in a button having atubular shank open at the outer end and adapted to receive a shank or pintle projecting from the rear side of the bow or scarf, which tubular shank is passed through the button-holes of the shirt and collar from the inside toward the outside.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a central sectional View of a scarf embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a rear viewot' a .necktie-bow embodying my invention; Fig. 3, a view similar to Fig. 2, showing a modificationof the invention; and Fig. 4, a sectional view of Fig. 3. v

A button-head, A, of the usual construction, is provided with a tubularmshank, B, which is open at the Outer or freeend. rIhe tubular shank is made circular in cross-section, and the shank C is passed into the same.` The shank G-projects through a plate, D, fastened in some suitable manner to the back of the neektie bow or scarf E, or the shank C can be fastened to the rear side of the bow in any other suitable Inanner.

The tubular shank B is passed through the button-holes of the shirt and collar from the inside toward the outside, so that the open end of the shank will be outward. The shank C is then passed into the tubular shank, and will be held therein by friction, thus holding the bow in place. The necktie bow or scarf fastener thus also serves as a collar-button.

necktie bow or scarf can be fastened or removed very easily and rapidly.

It is evident that without deviating from the spirit of my invention the tubular shaft can be fastened on the neck bow or scarf, and the stem or pintle can be secured to the button-head, which may be of any desired shape.

The tubular shank C is slitted. longitudinally to increase its spring-power.

The scarfs provided with my improved fastener are not to have a neckband.

In Fig. 2 the attaching-plate D is provided with a series of holes, a, through any one of which the shank C can be passed for adjusting the position of the button-fastening, and in Figs. 3 and 4 the attaching-plate D is provided with two round holes, f, connected by a' straight slot, g. The sides of the attachingplate are slightly bent outward, so as to receive a tongue formed on a bar, h. When; the shank C is passed through the upper hole, the bar is inserted below it, and when the said shank is passed through the lower hole the bar is inserted above it.

I do not claim, broadly, a-button having a tubular shank On one head and apintle lfitting; into the said shank and secured to the other head.

Having thusdescribed my invention, what I claim is The combination, with a necktie bow or scarf having an attaching-plate secured to its rear portion, and a button shank projecting therefrom, of a removable button-head and tube adapted to eo-operate with said shank, all substantially asset forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
